Situated in a villa on Jumeirah Beach Road, Comptoir 102 stocks labels such as Delphine Delafon - “the ‘it’ bag in Paris right now”, Tse Tse ceramics, cult V73 and Jerome Dreyfuss.
Describing her store as ‘a world apart from the generic mall experience’, Alexandra says: “What sets Comptoir 102 apart is that it is very personal to us. We haven’t sourced anything that we wouldn’t buy ourselves and we hope it strongly reflects our tastes.”
